10.1 HOW TO AVOID SHOPPING BLUNDERS - BY DEBI DRECKSLER
Though
modern technology has vastly improved the sales and service industry...it is far from fool
proof. Now, more than ever, shoppers need to be on their toes during transactions because
mistakes happen far more often than businesses care to admit.
With
prices rising, consumers need to take the time and effort to comparative shop, taking
advantage of specials whenever possible. Before making purchases, it is wise to make a
list of all the sale items you wish to buy. Make sure to include a price list. If you saw
an ad in the paper, for example, take a copy of the ad with you to the store.
Once
shopping, try to verify the sale prices before going through the checkout line. Get a
sales person to scan the item, for example. In some stores now there are scanners just for
public use so you can scan the product yourself. This will help you avoid a long wait if
the cashier has to confirm the sale price. You also get to avoid mean glares from
customers stuck in line behind you.
